Top 4 Interior Design Trends We’re Seeing in 2023
It’s finally here! The new year! And you know what comes with a new year? New interior design trends!
So what’s hot for your home in 2023? Think colors, cozy, and computers. Wait, computers? Yep, keep reading, and you’ll see what we mean.
Let’s dive right in—here are the top four design trends we expect to see more of in Tuscaloosa homes in 2023!
Design Trend #1: All White? Not Anymore!
Don’t get us wrong, we love crisp, white kitchens and bathrooms. But 2023 is all about adding pops of color to your Alabama home in unique ways.
So how can you easily add color to a currently all-white space? Try these creative ideas.
Create an accent wall with colorful paint.
Use colorful tile in a backsplash.
Paint your lower cabinets or island a different color than your upper cabinets.
Not sure what color to use to brighten up your all-white space? Try one of the top paint colors for 2023. This year, the most popular interior colors are cool blues and greens, as well as shades with pink undertones. Any of these options will add a pop of color and new life to your white space!
Design Trend #2: Create An Ideal Work-From-Home Space
Your Zoom background is about to get the ultimate upgrade in 2023. It’s becoming more common for people to work from home part-time or full-time, which has spawned a demand for dedicated WFH office spaces in many Alabama homes.
Maybe you already love everything about where you live. But is it possible to love the same space if it doubles as a primary work area, too?
Here are some tips to freshen up your home office and transform it into an ideal work-from-home space that will work well for you:
Consider installing custom cabinetry, storage, desks, and other work areas that are specifically designed to meet your WFH needs
Maximize your existing space by going vertical with shelving and office decor
Use a statement wallpaper to make the space more interesting and personal. You can install wallpaper on one wall, multiple walls, or even on the ceiling.
Home offices come in all shapes and sizes. With the right design, you can absolutely love where you live, work, and play—even if those spaces are all under the same roof.
Design Trend #3: Add Cozy Charm In Natural Ways
What’s an easy way to add warmth and cozy charm to a space? Natural wood elements!
There are a variety of ways to add wood to spaces without making them seem too rustic:
A set of beautiful, wood double doors at the entrance of the home
Thoughtfully designed cabinets finished in a showstopping wood stain to highlight the wood’s natural grain
Incorporate hints of wood throughout a kitchen design. You might add a natural wood kitchen island or trim a range hood in raw or stained wood. Open shelving is also great for incorporating natural wood elements into your design.
If you like to change up the look of your room often, consider adding furniture pieces or decor that add warmth and complement a non-wood space.
Due to its design and neutral tone, wood easily blends with other elements in a house. Mixing in wood here and there is an easy way to update your home without completely remodeling the space.
Design Trend #4: Make Simple Changes to Warm Up Your Space
We know, we know…we JUST recently wrote about how the dark academia trend is taking over. Oh, don’t get us wrong, moody rooms still have their place. But now warm trends are emerging for kitchens and other spaces, too!
Adding warmth to a space can be pretty simple when redesigning a room. Here are some simple ways to warm up your current space:
Choose neutral or warm tones for your wall color and even cabinetry
Add natural elements (like wood!) to any space (think accessories, open shelving, and small furniture)
Change up your flooring or add a rug to bring in texture that creates a warm and cozy space
